NOTICE REGARDING 2013 RENEWABLE ENERGY STANDARD COMPLIANCE
REPORT

Issue Date:August 27, 2014

On April 15, 2013, KCP&L Greater Missouri Operations Company
(“GMO”) filed with the Missouri Public Service Commission (“Commission”) its
2013 Annual Renewable Energy Standard Compliance Report (“Report”) pursuant to
Commission Rule 4 CSR 240‑20.100.The
Commission’s rule requires the Staff of the Commission to review the utility’s compliance
report and to file a report identifying any deficiencies.[1]

On June 30, 2014, Staff filed its report stating that it did not
find any deficiencies in the GMO Report. The Commission’s rule also allows the
Office of the Public Counsel and other interested persons or entities to file
comments regarding GMO’s Report.[2]The Missouri Division of Energy
filed comments stating that it has certified all renewable energy generation facilities
referred to in the Report. Earth Island Institute d/b/a Renew Missouri filed
comments alleging that GMO failed to adequately explain the amount of solar
rebate payments made to KCP&L Solar and how compliance for 2013 was under
the 1% cap and that GMO unlawfully acquired solar renewable energy credits from
sources outside of Missouri and denied solar rebate applications during 2013. The
Missouri Solar Energy Industries Association filed comments disagreeing with
how GMO calculated its retail rate impact and the results of those calculations.

The Commission’s regulation does not specify what, if any, action
the Commission is to take regarding GMO’s Report and any alleged deficiencies
in that Report, except to allow the Commission to “establish a procedural
schedule if necessary”.[3]After considering the submitted comments, the
Commission concludes that no further order from the Commission is appropriate
at this time.

If the organizations that submitted comments, or anyone else,
want to further pursue their contention that GMO has failed to comply with the requirements
of the renewable energy standard statute or the Commission’s implementing
regulations, they may do so by filing a complaint pursuant to Section 4 CSR
240-20.100(8)(A) and the statutes and regulations governing complaints before
the Commission.
